Byzantine vs Middle Buff
Byzantine is a Benjamin Moore color while Middle Buff comes from Little Greene. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. With LRVs of 21 and 22, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. They share a red quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 11.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
